We began watching this video in class, I honestly thought it
was interesting that Bea Arthur was telling a story through singing. It was truly beautiful to hear her sing, she
spoke about how if people were to tell her in her past that she would be where
she was at today, she wouldn’t have believed them. This is amazing because it was such a simple
performance yet so beautiful and meaningful.
Nowadays, it seems like Broadway shown are all about production and special
effects with many actors/ actresses. An
example of two Broadway shows I have seen that did this was Wicked and Lion
King. They all had costumes, it was fast
pace, and they had props and special effects to try and make the story more
exciting. There may be some shows that
are similar and simple like Bea Arthur, however it seems that most of them are
more focused on big entertainment that is fast pace and intricate rather than
simple.
